Special Procurement Types and Process
Special Procurement Types and Process
In special procurement, the goods are procured in a separate way and will process the customer
order as per the requirement.
Here in this process, stocks are treated as special stocks and the way we procure the material is
called special procurement activity.
The following special procurement types exist in the R/3 System:
Consignment
Subcontracting
Stock Transfer Using Stock Transport Order
Third-Party Processing
Returnable Transport Packaging
Pipeline Handling
Consignment Procurement
Consignment procurement takes place when you have an arrangement with a vendor that allows
the vendor to keep its materials on your premises. When the material is issued to your production
or stock, you must pay the vendor
Pre – requisites
Consignment info record must be maintained
Maintain condition record KONS(MRM1)
Process
First create a consignment info record through transaction ME11
Need to select info category as consignment and enter vendor, material, purchase
organization, plant and required entries in subsequent screens.
Create a PR – ME51N with (item category K)
Create a Consignment Purchase Order through transaction ME21N. (With reference to PR)
Create Goods Receipt against the PO, T-Code MIGO/ 101 (K). – Material doc will generate
Create Transfer posting to transfer the goods from consignment stock to own stock, T-Code
MB1B/ 411(K) – Material and accounting docs will generate
Create Consignment settlement using T-Code MRKO. – Invoice and Accounting docs will
generate
Hence consignment process is done.
Subcontracting Procurement
It involves an agreement where you issue raw materials to a vendor, and the vendor makes finished
products from the raw materials this procurement is used when the company doesn’t have the
facility to assemble a product or manufacture a product.
Pre – requisites
Bill Of Material (BOM)
The sales views must be maintained for all the materials.
Process
Create Subcontract info record for the finished product using T-code ME11
Create subcontracting PO for the finished product with Item category L using T-code
ME21N. In the material tab of item details section, select the components which we want to
send to the subcontractor (Vendor)
Create Transfer Posting to send/ issue the subcomponents to the subcontractor (Vendor)
using T-code MB1B/541 – No material & accounting docs will generate
we can monitor the subcomponents at vendor using t-code MBLB
Create GR to receive the finished product/ final product from subcontractor (Vendor) using
T-Code MIGO/ 101. Then material document will be created and subsequent accounting
entries will be updated as per the process.
Post invoice receipt (MIRO) – Invoice & accounting docs will generate
We can go through the material document by using the T-Code MB03, we can find the
respective movement types for the components and finished products and also, we can find
the accounting entries generated for the transaction.
PIPELINE Handling
In pipeline handling, the company does not need to order or store the material concerned. It is
readily available as and when required via a pipeline (for example, oil or water and gas), or some
other type of cable (for example, electricity). Consumption of the material is settled with the vendor
on a regular basis.
